Since releasing her Like Water EP last year, Francesca Bergami (aka Lyves) has found a real foothold amongst the international music community, leading to the Italian musician being invited to support Coldplay on tour. More recently however, Lyves has returned to the studio to complete her most ambitious project yet - an eight track exploration of emotion and personal experience. Over the span of eight months, Lyves will reveal these recordings, followed by a video for each song, every one under the influence of a different director. It will truly be fascinating to hear and see how Bergami transitions through these emotions, and how each director interprets then. We're starting this journey with Lyves at ‘Still’, a shuddering, ethereal alt-pop song produced by JNTHN Stein. ‘Still’ is a moment of reflection, itself becoming a hold for these emotions to escape to. Therapy, catharsis, or good old songwriting - inner feeling is a well of creativity, one that Lyves has begun to skilfully tap in to. - Hannah Thacker
